(Update 11/4: rebase to latest master done)

Per item:

  • custom prefix: folded into Building from source as one pip install --no-binary=TA-Lib TA-Lib line
  • ta_defs.h / LNK2001: kept; the five LNK2001 lines become one
  • pyconfig.h: kept
  • macOS unsigned library: dropped (Python 3.9-era local builds; wheels cover the platform)
  • VM memory: kept the sentence, dropped the swapfile recipe
  • permission denied: dropped (same cause as the ta_defs.h item)
  • PyInstaller --hidden-import talib.stream: dropped; tested on the 0.8.3 wheel with PyInstaller 6.22.3, Python 3.12, onefile and onedir, plain import talib + talib.stream.SMA: runs without it
  • numpy<2 pairing: dropped, already in Versions

Keeps the three items a source build can still hit (missing ta-lib headers
or symbols, missing Python headers, a small VM). The custom-prefix item
becomes a `--no-binary` line under Building from source; the LNK2001
listing becomes one line. Dropped: the macOS unsigned-library note, the
swapfile recipe, the permission-denied item, the numpy<2 pairing already
in Versions, and the PyInstaller `--hidden-import talib.stream` tip, which
the 0.8.3 wheel no longer needs (PyInstaller 6.22, onefile and onedir).
